Can I setup Vital alerts for Heart rate or SpO2?

You can easily configure Vital Alerts in the Circular app to monitor your heart rate and SpO₂ levels in real time.


🛠️ How to Set Up Vital Alerts

  1. Open the Circular app
  2. Go to Circle > Vital Alerts
  3. Tap the ⚙️ Settings button in the bottom-right corner of your screen
  4. From there, you can:
    • Toggle Vital Alerts ON or OFF
    • Customize trigger thresholds for each type of alert


Available Alerts You Can Configure:

  • High Heart Rate Alert
  • Low Heart Rate Alert
  • Low SpO₂ Alert


Example: Set a High Heart Rate Alert

If you'd like to be notified when your heart rate exceeds 150 BPM:

  • Go to Circle > Vital Alerts
  • Tap the ⚙️ Settings button in the bottom-right corner of your screen
  • Go to High HR Alert
  • Turn the alert ON
  • Set the trigger to 150 BPM


👁️‍🗨️ Filter Your Vital View

Once alerts are active and data is collected, you can:

  • Return to the Circle
  • Tap the filter icon
  • Select Heart Rate or SpO₂ to narrow down the view
  • This makes it easier to focus on the feedback and events related to the specific vital you’re monitoring


📳 Vibration vs. Notification

  • If you own a Circular Pro 1 or Slim 1, the alert will trigger a vibration on your ring
  • For all other models, you’ll receive a notification on your phone (no ring vibration)
